What's it like to drive?

good handling, sporty suspension. Pretty comfortable. (when it's working) I wouldn't buy another neon, even if it drove like a ferrari!

What's it like to park?

easy

Have you had any problems with the car?

New radiator at 70k. A/c doesn't work. oil leak, which nobody can find the source of. It finally died on 74k miles, engine knock which was going to cost £450 to repair; not worth it as I had already spent in excess of £1000 on this car in the last 2 years. Just so you know the car only had 57,000 miles on the clock and 1 previous owner who had it serviced every 7500 miles!! So it hadn't been neglected.

What's most practical about your car?

decent boot.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

none
